In the quite unlikely situation where that happens, you've obviously got a piece of software which is broken dependency-wise. Many of the current schemes will fail to accommodate that too. For example, no amount of moving the /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K35smb script around will fix that situation on Red Hat. A solution to your example is to fix two of the three broken pieces of software by splitting B into B1 and B2, and either A or C into their components likewise: A1 --> B1 --> C --> B2 --> A2 -or- C1 --> B1 --> A --> B2 --> C2 > No way to get it right always. Your example did in no way prove that, so thus far that statement is not true. > In any case, this is wildly off-topic for a list on /kernel/ development. > Better locate a Linux User Group near you, look for mailing lists on running > Linux, trawl Usenet for a group with acceptable signal/noise ratio.
